Kah-tah-LAy-yah

Intro

Mm… yeah…

Hah… mm-mm…

Verse

Late nights, quiet room, city asleep

Your little hand in mine, I hold it deep

World outside loud, but we move slow

I feel your heart, I feel your flow

They don’t always see the way you shine

But baby, your rhythm, it’s divine

Every step, I’m walking close behind

Love like this, it’s one of a kind

Pre-chorus

I don’t need you to be anything

Just exactly who you are to me

Every sound, every pause, every way

I’m right here, I’m here to stay

Chorus

kah-tah-LAy-yah…

It’s just me and you, forever

Against the world, no matter the weather

I’ll love you now, I’ll love you better

kah-tah-LAy-yah… my baby

Nothing about you needs changing

Autism don’t change how I see

You’re perfect, you’re whole, you’re free

Verse

Some days hard, I won’t lie

But I’ll never let you feel behind

We move at your pace, no race to run

Your timing’s divine, your light, the sun

When the world too loud, the lights too bright

I’ll be your calm, your soft moonlight

You don’t gotta speak for me to know

Your soul talks loud, and I hear it though

Pre-chorus

I’ll learn your world, every sign

Every silence, every line

I won’t make you fit their view

The world gon’ learn from you

Chorus

kah-tah-LAy-yah…

It’s just me and you together

Against the world, no matter the pressure

I’ll hold you close, I’ll protect you better

kah-tah-LAy-yah… my baby

Your light don’t need explaining

Autism don’t change nothing to me

You’re love in pure frequency

Bridge

(breathy / spoken-sung)

If you ever feel misunderstood

Mama’s here, like I said I would

I’ll fight the noise, I’ll break the mold

I’ll stand ten toes when the world too cold

You don’t owe nobody nothing at all

You were chosen, you were called

(soft harmony)

You were chosen… mm…

Chorus

kah-tah-LAy-yah…

Just us two, no fear, no maybe

I’ll be your anchor, I’ll be your safety

Every version of you is amazing

kah-tah-LAy-yah… my love

Sent to me straight from above

It’s me and you against everything

And I’ll love you through anything

Outro

Mm… yeah…

Mama here… always…
